[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] More about the book[/title]
The book's blurb...
"Australia has long been a favourite with those wishing to start a new life overseas: this book gives all the information necessary to make the idea of moving down under a reality.
The book is illustrated with first-hand accounts from people living in Australia and is full colour, with numerous helpful maps and photographs. Set out to be easily accessible, each chapter guides you through the practicalities of a move to Australia, from setting up home to finding a job to starting a business.
In particular, it gives advice on renting accommodation, opening the right bank account, finding your ideal home and making the most of your leisure time.There is also easy access to urgent information such as emergency phone numbers, laws and regulations and healthcare advice.
The employment section of the book covers vital information, such as information on business etiquette, the skills and trades most in demand, permanent, seasonal and temporary work, salaries, working hours and holidays, trade unions and contracts, starting or buying your own business and sources of advice and assistance."
How will the people be chosen?
The 25 people who get a book will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and announced in next week's email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips).
When will I get the book?
The publisher providing these books will send them out directly though, to aid administration, this won't happen until all 25 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take a couple of weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. This thread will be updated to let winners know when they have been sent out.
